“Criteria for audio rating: Sonorous, loud, full and rich, projection of voice, crisp & clear. 5 of 5 meets all criteria. If listener has to strain to hear speaker, 0 out of 5. I also consider how effectively speaker makes use of time; i.e., long pauses, lots of uuums and uuuuhs, deviation from point, beating around the bush, and general elocution. About 99% emphasis on audio quality. I use podcast Money Matters with Ken Moraif as 100% standard of AUDIO SOUND QUALITY ONLY, that gets 5 out of 5 rating.
Criteria for content: how is this info unique and different from what I can glean from a google search? What advantage can I gain that I can’t from google search? If info is unique & helps elucidate complex and esoteric ideas, gets 5 out of 5. If info is just stuff that can be pretty much read off google searches, gets 0 out of 5. I place 1% emphasis on content (good info is useless if can’t be heard or understood).
Audio for this podcast is 2⁄5. Speaker is soft spoken, sounds diffident and timorous; I have to somewhat strain to hear what she’s saying. Poor projection of voice. Speaker’s voice is pleasant; pleasing to ears, and is considerate of listener’s time.
Content rating: 0 out of 5. Info can pretty much be read from a google search. This podcast lacks explanation on botanical aspects of plants; i.e., how photosynthesis is performed, difference between C4 & C3 plants, chemical composition, elucidation of respiration process, transpiration, etc. Basically devoid of plant anatomy and physiology explanation, and hence devoid of higher cognitive function.
In general: I wouldn’t waste my time on this podcast.”
